The cast will also feature Ashley Judd (Divergent) and Clancy Brown (Chicago P.D.) as Queen Arianna and King Frederic, Rapunzel's parents. A few other new characters include Sean Hayes (Will & Grace) as Pete the Guard, Jeremy Jordan (Supergirl) as Varian the teen alchemist and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Lost) as Xavier the blacksmith.
